Re: [O] org-clock-select-task: how does it work?

[Tory S. Anderson]

Now I'm loving this tool but I'm looking for two tweaks that would make a big 
difference. 

1) I use "work.org" to track my weekly work hours; each week is mostly the same 
tasks, but new time frames. I need to be able to make sure my "recent clock 
list" is talking about the item for this week, not the identically named item 
for a previous week. If I could see the tree-path of the items (in the same way 
putting the point over an item in agenda shows you the hierarchy) that would be 
great. 

2) As Peter originally mentioned, I see only five tasks on the list; I have 
more than that each week. Can this be expanded with some variable? 

Having looked into problem 2 by going to `org-clock-select-task` in 
'org-clock.el', I found the following which is mostly beyond my current elisp 
capabilities: 

        (insert (org-add-props "Recent Tasks\n" nil 'face 'bold))
        (mapc
         (lambda (m)
           (when (marker-buffer m)
             (setq i (1+ i)
                   s (org-clock-insert-selection-line
                      (if (< i 10)
                          (+ i ?0)
                        (+ i (- ?A 10))) m))
             (if (fboundp 'int-to-char) (setf (car s) (int-to-char (car s))))
             (push s sel-list)))
         och)

While I'd love it if someone could explain to me what the "?" operator means 
with "?0" and "?A", one thing I get out of this is that a list length of 
something less than 10 seems hardcoded (right?). What would it take to be able 
customize this with a variable?
